Im getting back to the other ones too :D



:-) Thanks Kizza!

even though I gave quite a 'I am speechless' kind comment on this one before too, I think Untouchable remains to be one of your best...a) because it had less morbidity, more retrospection for the reader, b) the flow was DAMN amazing! I think I read it thrice this time..just cuz the thought process was put down so well, c) Stuff written in it, couldnt necessarily be associated to the readers reading it or they perhaps wouldnt connect to it..but someone, i think, everyone who has read this agreed with SOME line or the other in it :D as i said, though process was amazing!

That one line about inspiration being not a person...it was HIS point of view, cuz for some, people turn to be the sole motive of everything they do...for some, like him, other things matter more! you know, this guy reminded me of Roark in some way, due to the dedication, perhaps, he showed to the one thing he did and did his way! :)



Yeah, it was a retrospect piece. There used to be a series on DD which was about a writer. A woman makes the guy write again after many years of him being on a hiatus. I was really, really young back then but found that series on a site. I distinctly remember the writing part where the guy smokes and writes.

Roark? Really? Hmm...you might have something there...Thanks a lot kiran!!!

What is this? I distinctly remember commenting on Bete Noir but i cant find it ANYWHERE now...oh well, you are getting another comment then! I remember reading somewhere, long time back...that human beings are the most vicious species...the venom in them is so strong that if their hands and feet are tied and their tongues cut and no form of communication is open to them, they would still be able to kill off each other just with the poison they hold inside, they'd make the whole atmosphere full off it...I agree, we just cant bear the fact that someone out there is unusual, different to what could be the usual norm...any thing DIFFERENT sends out a red alarm and instead of just help, we turn the person insane...

I believe, no one is born insane...and no human is born human..both are nurtured,not innate and thus...we have learnt to live with insanity rather than humanity...the title was SO apt and the whole shot :D touching!



Interesting Kiran. (And very, very odd hearing a serious comment from you) Is society really responsible for making a person insane? There has to be certain degree of insanity in the person themselves which makes them succumb to social pressure. Don't you think so?

So reality is basically an alternative, a getaway from fantasies, because the latter are too vague for us to believe in? Hmmm, that was pretty interesting to read, especially coming from you...I think I'd be one of the ignorant ones in your shot, because I believe in facts and our perception of reality...the fact that nature converses would be something I'd laugh out at...thus making me the part of a vast majority...but then again, who knows the true nature of the hidden secrets of univers? maybe reality IS the right perception, and we have been believing in fantasies all along? Isnt the thought of us leading our lives OUR way a fantasy too? That was pretty, pretty interesting to read, and not morbid *thank God for that* :D

Um making commenting a serious business, see?



Glad that you are commenting non-stop. Of course its a one-time thing for ya! Yes, its a non-morbid piece but kind of bittersweet. Reality being a perception was just an idea I was toying with. But I had to use fantasy genre to execute it. Otherwise, it becomes insane and crazy person's narration :D

just discovered this section a few hours ago, nd spent them reading Death Talkies. i dont need 2 say that they all are simply amazing. even if they are a liitle hard 2 understand in one reading, i feel like reading them just for the language and expression. its fantastic. today i have resolved to read all your works before i go to bed (as you might have guessed i am hopelessly vain)
but that doesnt reduce the beauty of your creations
please pm me when you start a new series
edit
i have read all of them. 2 gud



Hello Sur,

Welcome to this thread. Thanks for reading and appreciating this thread.

Again, many thanks.

Hi Sookie*

That was amazing...2 underdogs loving each other with an unnamed passion...beautifully written....
those lines when she asks him 2 sing a song and when he tells her what he wants in return are my favourite....
U know this might sound a little strange but I have saved ur stories from death talkies in my pc....they are too good....
And the end was too tragic
thanku for the pm
Sur



Hello Sur,
Thanks for liking this piece.

Oh? I hope you don't read too much into my writing.

Thanks,
Sookie

aite, possibly a tough statement, even unfair - but i have to say, do u recall the word cliche precisely? - there's a thing about cliche and cynics - they want to call everything usual cliche, but thats what they think... if being 'norma' is cliche and expected - when u expect only cynical stuff (read never meeting to meet but to part alone) i suppose that becomes about the same .. ?

to be honest, i didn't not like the writing of it in general - it was just the knowing -ness about it, that sort of lessened my intrigue - i think u'd know what i mean...

technically, sweetcheeks, even morbid stuff should vary its trend, should it not? just an observation at that, and u can come hit me on the chat if get all mad reading the comment :P ...

that said - i like the irony of her opening phrase - my body is a temple - not the further explanation on it, but just that ... quirky and ironic!

cheers,
nj




Point taken. 😊

thats so different again,,,i said that hundred times but will say again....
i could actually feel the pain she was going through...she was fed up of her life n he always made cheer...he protected her,,,i feel...he wanted to make her happy n feel alive but she was already dead,,somewhere...


What does that make your heart then?"
"Pretty much useless"


"Tell your heart to always remember the fiddler who made these demands."
"It already does."


These two show a connection for me...a heart which she thought was pretty useless now wants remember him,,his demands....!!!

great!!
thanks for PM!!!
sri:-)



Thanks a lot Sri. Yeah, the two of them did have a connection. But the end was unfortunate, was it not?

Thanks a million Sri, for your continuous support and kind words.

Not sure where she was going but only that she left. What was between them...who knows? Maybe friends or maybe nothing at all; just two broken people sharing a street corner.

Thanks Aish, for your comments.
